Product Description
SCANSNAP S510M CLR 600 DPI USB - 2.0 A3 50PG ADF DOCUMENT SCANNER - MAC Compatible

Amazon.com Product Description
The Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Scanner for Macs lets you easily convert your paper archives into a searchable digital library of PDFs. With an easy one-touch PDF creation process, nothing could be simpler: The scanner will automatically distinguish between color documents and black and white ones, automatically recognize the size of each page, automatically straighten images, and automatically delete blank pages. Included are an automatic document feeder and the ability to scan in duplex mode, enabling the ScanSnap to scan at up to 18 pages per minute. The ScanShop uses a USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 compatible) interface for wide compatibility and fast data connection. The ScanSnap supports Mac OS X 10.2.8, 10.3, and 10.4 and includes a full copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional for Mac and a copy of ABBYY FineReader.

The scanner uses two color CCDs for scanning at an optical resolution of up to 600 dpi. The scanner-supported size range includes A4, A5, A6, B5, B6, business cards, letter, legal, and custom sizes from a minimum of 2 by 2 inches to a maximum of 8.5 by 14.17 inches. Even though it scans paper of all sizes, the scanner itself has a compact angular design that takes less space on your desktop than a letter-size piece of paper. The Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M is backed by a 1-year warranty.

What's in the Box

5 out of 5 stars excellent scanner   July 1, 2008
After having this for one week, I've scanned all my documents into pdf. With the help of the management software "yep" we've gotten rid of all our boxes of files. Well worth the investment. From binders of double sided settlement paperwork to stacks of receipts, this scanner handles them all. Worth every penny!


5 out of 5 stars A simple and excellent scanning solution for the MAC   June 15, 2008

I love the Fujitsu ScanSnap S520M. I previously bought the PC version of the Fujitsu ScanSnap, but since I switched over to the Mac, I decided to get the Mac Version of this scanner as well. The bundle comes with Adobe Acrobat, which is worth the purchase price of the scanner alone. With this scanner, you can scan straight to PDF in seconds. This type of scanner is more efficient than the flatbed scanners that you find in those all-in-one multifunction printers. The only downside to the ScanSnap is that it is not able to scan thick objects (i.e. textbooks, passports, etc.), unless you rip out the pages and feed them through the scanner. For those types of documents, users should use a flatbed scanner.

If you ever thought about going "paperless" the ScanSnap S510M is a great way to go. Just make sure you have your backup drives (external hard drive, additional internal hard drives, etc.) and software (i.e. Apple's Time Machine) so that you don't shoot yourself in the foot when your primary data gets corrupted/deleted.



5 out of 5 stars Its Fast!   June 11, 2008
This has been perfect for scanning all my paperwork. I've tried other desktop scanners, but they take forever to scan. The ScanSnap scans so fast that you think something went wrong. I can just save the scans as PDFs right to my Documents folder for archiving. Perfect!


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good sheet scanner   June 11, 2008

I bought this so I could send faxes from home. I know, you can get fax machines for much less, but I didn't want to mess with shared lines or installing a separate line. The image quality on scanned sheets is great, it automatically saves the file as a pdf and it integrated perfectly with my MacBook Pro. The files work fine with my online fax service and the pdf format makes file handling simple for emails, file sharing, etc. It's a little challenging to get the paper to feed straight for the scan (especially a multi-page scan), but that's the only (minor) issue I've had with this unit.


5 out of 5 stars Get one!   June 7, 2008
If you want to scan in documents quickly and store them on your computer, GET THIS! OMG so fast and slick. It does what it says and nice small foot print. Little squeaky noise wise.
